Angelwings_The_Faun, that is a fantastic point! It's very true, what you say of Caspian. That is one of the reasons I admire him as well. To me, he is very real like Edmund. He's relatable. Comparing him to King David is an interesting point. I've never made that connection. It's a very good connection.

Why thanks!
What's funny is, I didn't even make the connection until the new movies came out. How many times did I read over his character and watch the old movies without connecting the dots, I'll never know. But think about it...David was a young boy who didn't feel ready to be King, which is why God chose him! He made mistake after mistake, and yet he never stopped giving God praise. The man commited multiple sins, he was betrayed by his best friends father (who tried to kill him), I mean...the similarities are endless!
"None of this fazes us ...I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love..." Romans 8:39
Exactly! Now that I think about it more and more it's very similar and interesting. I guess I've never physically pictured David as young and having Caspian as a reference point is a big help. Great thoughts!
I chose Caspian because throughout the books/movies he is in you can really see him grow as a character. He always wants the best for other people, and knows how to rule a kingdom, and I absolutely love him as a person ^^
I chose Edmund, though it was very close between him and Eustace. I love the way you get to see him grow throughout the books to someone so noble and just. He's also the most relatable with his path of redemption, and his character seems so very human. I also love his understanding, and his faith in his sister and Aslan. I guess most of my reasons could be also said for Eustace, but there's something about Ed that makes me like him that little bit more.
I stand with the Lord at my side, always.
For Narnia and the North!

I chose Edmund- I really love him in the books!! (and movies )
NW twin to Georgiefan! NW sib to 22!
avvie by AslansChild thank you!!!
I picked Edmund. He changed so much, going from helping the White Witch to almost dying in order to defeat her. I especially loved seeing him in HHB.
As long as there is breath in my body, I will be For Narnia. And for Aslan.
I've always been a Caspian girl I used to have the biggest crush on him in the books! However I'm also a big Edmund and Eustace fan too. However Caspian still wins out!
Wrong will be right when Aslan comes in sight / At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more / When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death / And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again
I voted Eustace! (When I first read the books, I read his name as Eustance, with an 'n'. Don't ask me why; my mind just put an 'n' in there for some reason.)
Eustace is such a cool character. He goes from being snobby, annoying, and rude, to being a true hero. When he makes his turnaround, he still retains some of his classic-Eustace qualities that make him unique: intelligence, practicality, and wit. He is one of the characters that really makes me laugh. Plus, he's not brave like most heroes; he has his doubts and he's scared of fighting. That makes him more likable and easier to relate to, in my opinion, because, honestly, how many of us would jump into battles like Peter or Edmund? I'm guessing more people would be like Eustace.
But I'm wondering why the poll says "VDT/SC". What about Eustace in LB? He has a pretty major part in that.
Also picked Eustace. Pretty much for everything mentioned above, especially his relatability and his being brave and not necessarily knowing it as Minty mentioned. That's displayed even more in LB.

Tirian - he made the best out of a bad situation and he did it with honor and dignity until the end.

Gosh...its so hard to choose but i'll say Eustace because he is just so funny! and I love how he goes from a moaner to a hero...I think he has one of the best character stories!
Plus, I just found out that the female variation of Eustace, Anstace means 'one who will be reborn!' and that is so cool because Eustace is kind of reborn after the undragoning! Coincidence or not?!
Narnia is childhood...
Seriously, just give the kid the orange. He needs his vitamin C!
I voted Caspian, just because he had a pretty tough life. When we first meet him he's pretty much an orphan whose uncle is out for his blood. And in his old age he loses his wife and only son, yet he continues to go on ruling Narnia and he never loses his faith in Aslan.
Tirian is great. He kept the faith through the worst crisis Narnia had ever seen, but I don't think it beats what Caspian had to go through, because Caspian had his own personal crisis which he had to deal with on his own for ten years. I'm not sure how long the events of LB lasted but I know it wasn't ten years.
Aslan didn't send help right away for Caspian. He had to wait and he didn't see his son again until he was about to die. I can't imagine having to go ten years without knowing if a loved one was even alive. Caspian not only did that, but he kept trusting Aslan even through it all. It really shows a great maturity from Caspian in VDT. Reading about his life is just cool.
My second favorite (pretty close second) is Rilian. He's an interesting character. I think his story paints an amazing picture of redemption... As does Edmund's. But I like Rilian better. There's also a lot of mystery surrounding him since he's only really featured in the latter part of one of the books.
